http://derelict-heart.deviantart.com/journal/20372334/ Sun, 07 Sep 2008 10:00:51 PDT so apparently, i'm having some difficulties with my new deviant ID. i would love everyone's input because i'm at a loss with creativity since school started. it's like it sucked all the summer energy out of me and that's disappointing. it's also very difficult for me to get a really good shot of myself with my mediocre digital camera and lack of good looks. i must have taken like 30 pictures yesterday and i only deemed one okay. and it still wasn't good enough. i only want to make a new one because i'd like to have a new photo of moi every couple of months or so, so my page doesn't look too boring. so input would be great, please & thank you.

http://derelict-heart.deviantart.com/journal/20242902/ Sat, 30 Aug 2008 20:45:40 PDT & it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you. somebody else gets what you wanted again. you know it's all the same, another time & place, repeating history... & you're getting sick of it. ~ "changes" by taylor swift

it's all about the title. i'm ready for some changes, i think. first, with my photography, i'm going to be doing more film than digital, i hope. that is, until i save up for my canon rebel *sigh*. that could be a while folks, seeing as i have no job at the moment. i'm just sick of my fujifilm camera, but that's another story. i'm also going to be writing more, & playing around more with my song writing, playing acoustic sets, etc. second, i think i want to change my hair. now that summer's over, i want to go back to my natural brunette color, & just richen it up a little since i think my hair is boring... i'm just tired of me & who i was... i think i changed a lot this summer. & it's one of those things that i'll never know until i try, right?

my changing & figuring things out has been kind of difficult for me, but it's just one of those things you need to overcome in life. i'm just not the same person anymore - i can't be. i feel so much older, and i don't know if it's real or even good, but right now, i like it.

but okay, enough of my girly gushing & all that. i'm posting new features for september tomorrow, if things go accordingly. hopefully i can do a shoot this weekend of some sort as well. i just hope you all know how appreciative i am of your continued support of my art & the things i talk about here. it does mean a lot to me.

anyway. new features up soon for september. and oh, someone write me a song. well, if you want to. i think it's the best thing anyone could do for me right now. i mean, i can't write one for myself hehe.

http://derelict-heart.deviantart.com/journal/20103137/ Fri, 22 Aug 2008 20:28:02 PDT so today was my first day back to school - only a half day, but still... i thought i was ready, but i don't know. and i'm not really fond of this new shoe policy - we all have to wear a specific kind of shoe that gives my heels blisters because the girls got carried away with their clogs and moccasins... *sigh* no more cute flats for meee. i don't know why i decided to take a full load of honors/AP classes again for my senior year. i know it will be worth it in the end, but right now i'm afraid i'm going to go into my overly-stressed mode and not have as much time for my photography. i'm working on getting my friends to model, because i'm tired of self-portraits, and you guys probably are too!

anyway, i'm going back to collaging/scrapbooking for a while. i just need to scrounge up some photos and scan some pictures from my grandparents and i will have some new things up soon i hope. i'm also entering a local photography contest, so i have to have four submissions ready by the 29th. i don't really know which ones to choose, but i'm working on it. the winner gets some kind of trophy or medal, and a display exhibition thing in the local library. right now, i'll do anything for a little exposure. i don't have photography class until second semester, but i'm going to try to promote myself at school or something, round up some models or just inspire others. i'm kind of not looking forward to the student portion of the class, seeing as it will be mostly sophomores and most of these kids are the point-and-shoot types with zero experience or knowledge about film or polaroid/holga cameras. oy vay.

http://derelict-heart.deviantart.com/journal/19952737/ Fri, 15 Aug 2008 16:40:21 PDT i had an amazing night yesterday. my friends surprised me and took me to the ashbary coffeehouse for open-mic night. it's an over-the-hills-and-through-the-woods, family-owned, cottage-style bean scene that caters to the indie/alternative types. it's great for acoustic performers, like myself, and has a very mellow, low key atmosphere. they have a great selection of coffee drinks and entertainment. i wish i had taken pictures, but as usual, my battery was dead... and i'm not one for cell phone snapshots. i fell in love with this place instantly. i will definitely be going back to play there again!

other good news... i will be in wisconsin this weekend, so i will have the opportunity to take some new photos and put them up.
